Nice GUI to `du -h --max-depth=1 .` or `du --max-depth=1 . | sort -n -r`

The other big advantage over just being a gui is that it Scans the filesystem ahead of time and keeps the data across your navigation into directories.

du will have to rescan as you traverse down the tree

The subsequent scans feel a lot faster, I suspect due to caching.
